Tell It To The Devil
[Verse 1]
I can't stand to see a grown man hit a little kid
Or get cussed out for somethin' not even knowin' what he did
See a man, any man
Messin' 'round with your best friend's wife
Or sit helpless in the corner
And watch a man drink away his life
[Chorus]
I'm gonna clean my soul up Lord
You don't owe me no back pay
I'm gonna tell that to the devil
When I see him today
[Verse 2]
Walked to a graveyard
May they all rest in peace
I wish they could all go to heaven
I bet two did at least
Someone that don't feel sorry
For the helpless and the blind
Kinda makes you wanna pick up the Bible
And memorize every single line
[Chorus]
I'm gonna clean my soul up Lord
You don't owe me no back pay
I'm gonna tell that to the devil
When I see him today
[Pedal Steel, Piano, and Guitar Solos]
[Verse 3]
See a man walk by a beggar with an empty tin cup
Kinda makes you wanna grab him by the back of the neck
Knock him down and never pick him up
[Chorus]
I'm gonna clean my soul up Lord
You don't owe me no back pay
I'm gonna tell that to the devil
When I see him today
I'm gonna tell that to the devil
When I see him today
